[Bailey01]

Weaker half of the draw. Expect Djokovic, Raonic, Nishikori and Wawrinka to come through

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I give Lopez a shot but that's the only very rough chance but then again Lopez was almost on his way back home after round 1 and I haven't seen him play since.

Ferrer vs Nisikori the best match potentially

Hardly surprising.

Lopez extremely lucky. If I remember correctly he was down 2 sets and 2 breaks against Mannarino in round 2. Played a really good match vs Janowicz though. I really like him so I hope he can knock Raonic off.

The good thing is a match with Janowitz is good prep for one against Raonic. First round was bad though the other guy retired from Heat exhaustion

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Good to be back in Melbourne now for the second week of the Open!

Is it just me or should Ferrer and Nishikori be the prime time match of the evening rather than Djokovic v Muller?

 

[GreekLunatic]

Great first match of the day and bloody hamish is commentator

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Now I regret returning to Australia after hearing Hamish!

I'm predicting Cibulkova and Azarenka to go three sets.

 

[vaughany]

We had Hamish late last night now again first up this morning please ch7 give us a break.

Get Peter Donegan or poach Matt White back to host/commentate non marquee matches

It should be, oh well good value for day ticket holders. Joker will smash Muller to oblivion

 

[GreekLunatic]

I am amazed hamish hasn't mentioned nick yet

 

[GreekLunatic]

Hamish shut up about afl u Moron

 

[ozgamer]

Yeah, more 4th round action = More Hamish. FML

 

[vaughany]

Hamish shut up about afl u Moron

That was so awkward hey. Trying to tell Stubbsy that tennis players should be like AFL and have opposition coaches and stats coaches with laptops...

Hamish: What do you think of that idea Stubbsy?

Stubbsy: argh tennis players are in transit lots Hamish, lots of travel would be hard have that many staff.

 

[vaughany]

Yeah, more 4th round action = More Hamish. FML

I just read out Mark Woodforde is playing legends double this morning so that is why he isn't commentating. Please hurry back Woody ASAP before Williams match begins. Please

I think you mean Todd Woodbridge. I'm pretty sure Mark Woodforde is coaching Matosevic these days.

but I agree anyone but Hame and that other tosser Basil Zempilas

 

[juice t]

Channel 7 now have the Kyrgios Kountdown Klock

 

[bkozican]

Channel 7 now have the Kyrgios Kountdown Klock

It was only a matter of time. If channel 9 had it, They would already be advertising a signed pic of Kyrgios for $299. Get in quick as there is a limited 250 made.

I can't believe Hamish even suggested that. Lol Hamish, please go away.

 

[BobbyMorri]

the fact im going for cibulkova so Hamish doesnt ask Azarenka about the twitter with Kyrgios deosnt seem right.

And it takes a lot to rub me the wrong way.

 

[rippersnipper]

Hopefully Hamish doesn't do the interview, him and basil are just ****ed up when it comes to asking questions, with basil being by far the worst

 

[vaughany]

but I agree anyone but Hame and that other tosser Basil Zempilas

Yes Todd Woodbridge (sorry Hamish has made my brain go awry this morning)

Looks like we have headed for 3 in the Vika v Domi match.

Kyrgios confirmed for 7.15pm tomorrow night RLA

 

[vaughany]

Yeah I'm really hoping Cibulkova wins so we don't have to put up with a cheesy irrelevant "open mic" on court interview asking Azarenka everything except actual on court related questions

People want to see Novak more and rightfully so is on RLA
